For risk associated with storage of CO2 under the Earth's surface, the impervious cap is one of the most significant factors. Geological structures such as faults can provide conduits for CO2 to escape through the cap. When conductive faults intersect the storage formation and overlying permeable layers, CO2 leaks may exhibit three distinct behaviors: initial upward migration of fluids through ...

Color of sun-dried tomato is an important quality criteria and color stability of sun dried tomatoes is affected by storage conditions such as temperature, time and packaging type. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects storage time, storage temperature and packaging type on color stability of sun-dried tomatoes by using factorial experimental design. In this study, the 2 3 ...

Background and purpose: In a recent century, the amount of construction waste has increased significantly. Although the building industry has a considerable role in the development of a society, it is regarded as an environmentally destructive. Source reduction is the highest goal in the waste management hierarchy and is in priority. It also has economic benefits by reducing costs associated wi...

The rate coefficient for radiative and dielectronic recombination of berylliumlike magnesium ions was measured with high resolution at the Heidelberg heavy-ion storage ring TSR. In the electron-ion collision energy range 0–207 eV resonances due to 2s → 2p (∆N = 0) and 2s → 3l (∆N = 1) core excitations were detected. At low energies below 0.15 eV the recombination rate coefficient is dominated b...

Dielectronic recombination (DR) of xenonlike W20+ forming W19+ has been studied experimentally at a heavy-ion storage ring. A merged-beams method has been employed for obtaining absolute rate coefficients for electron-ion recombination in the collision-energy range 0–140 eV. The measured rate coefficient is dominated by strong DR resonances even at the lowest experimental energies. At plasma te...

One well-known problem with speech synthesis is the occurrence of audible discontinuities at phoneme boundaries, which lead to the unnaturalness of synthetic speech. This paper presents a sinusoidal noise based mathematical method to reform the transition regions from one phoneme to another phoneme with low storage. The speech parameters of sinusoidal noise model were estimated and stored as po...

introduction: the purpose of this study was determine the application of knowledge management among the staff members of central, faculty, and hospital libraries at tabriz university of medical sciences (tabriz, iran), based on hissig model. hissig model consists of four processes including knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application. methods: this descriptive survey included all of t...

Abstract In this research, a new conceptual model for producing instantaneous unit hydrographs (IUHs) is introduced by linear combination of the Nash model, which assumes that discharge from reservoir function its storage, and called inter-connected (ICLRM), difference storage adjacent downstream reservoir. By employing these assumptions, system first-order differential equations with three deg...

A generalization of the discrete linear cascade model (DLCM), which is a statespace-formulated discretized version of the continuous Kalinin–Milyukov–Nash Cascade, is described for noninteger number of uniform storage elements. The generalized model was tested against numerically integrated values of the Saint-Venant equations and was found to yield improved model accuracy in comparison with th...
